    Back in an S3 8l after 16 years....

    Glad you still like em coming from the likes of an RS3. From my previous experience apart from the normal maintenance and even though there aren't faulty I would put a new MAF, a new fuel pump, new actuator on the turbo and change all the vacuum hoses. These completely transformed how my non...

    Chinafold for LHD S3?

    Interesting I checked that TTE360 has pushed 363 without meth on a relatively straight forward build, there might be hope.

    Chinafold for LHD S3?

    Yeah I figured just needed confirmation. I'll pass on a hybrid most likely just save a little more and just go with sth else maybe a slightly larger td04, 2867.. Thanks for the info!

    Chinafold for LHD S3?

    Sorry to hijack your thread, but I'm also looking at the k04-380. What is the power penalty for not running the 80mm intake and no auxiliary fuel just regular 100RON fuel with otherwise all the necessary supporting hardware. Can I expect the 370-380hp quoted by AET or what would be a decent...

    Vibration when off throttle

    Hey guys, just to update I think I found the problem, the silicone TIP I bought was very close to one of the brake lines coming from the pump and off throttle I guess the engine moves and rubs against it, I repositioned the TIP and now it's gone, only present on very steep hills where I guess...

    APY cam timing

    Yesterday day I read on another forum a post which states: Big turbo low boost: intake cam Mid sized turbo high boost: exhaust cam Very small turbo with very high boost: intake cam.. I think I qualify as a small turbo high boost so exhaust cam only. It maybe try both cams with the inlet cam...

    APY cam timing

    I've seen the N/A cam test thread and the guys saw mostly EGTs lowering from the exhaust cam but nothing in there about how to time them. I'm interested mostly in the timing and it's effect on the power band. With a small frame I'm willing to sacrifice low end for top end.

    APY cam timing

    I'm doing my build as we speak and I'll be targeting 300-320 on a k04 hybrid. I just want to improve engine efficiency with cam timing ****** or advance. I know the turbo itself has limited flow but so does the engine's breathing capabilities. So I wanted to know if altering the timing will help...

    APY cam timing

    Hey guys Has anyone tried different cam timing like ****** or advance independent cams or both? What is best cam timing with going NA cams either exhaust only or intake only? I'm thinking of trying 1 cam tooth ****** of both cams to move the power band higher. Any idea or suggestion is...

    Vibration when off throttle

    It sounds like a DMF to me as well but no noise @ idle nor anything. No history of it changed recently so don't know...

    Vibration when off throttle

    Hello Guys, As the title states my S3 8L has developed vibration between 2000 and 3000 when I let off the gas. I've visually check all suspension, driveshafts, CV joints looke fine, allignment is perfect wheels are balanced. The car pulls and drives perfectly. exhaust doesn't hit the body...

    What have you done today?

    Fitted a new MAF and also going back and forth with my 2 n75s. With one, the car pulls good low end and the turbo kicks in smoothly with the other the car feel less powerful low end but the turbo kicks in more aggressively. How should it be the second one is the ''new'' C version.

    S3 8L suspension knocking.. again..

    I was just at a reputable mechanic and he told me it's sth at a very early stage and just told me to keep driving until it gets worse and come back to replace it as everything has to disassembled for it to be located..
